I build technology, make money, and have fun. I've been writing software since 2005 and leading engineering teams since 2015. Currently Partner at Notable Investors and CEO at Fusioncat. Still ship code.
You can find me on X, LinkedIn, and GitHub. Or send me an email to me@akorchak.software.
Notable Investors is a private equity and venture capital firm focused on technology-driven companies across software, robotics, renewable energy, and fintech. I support due diligence, advise CTOs and leadership teams, assess technology risks, and help build more predictable growth and investment models. I stay hands-on — writing code, building tools, and actively working with portfolio companies on their engineering.
Fusioncat is a London-based OSS project and company. We build open-source tooling for event-driven architectures — making it easier to design, test, and operate systems built on Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS SQS, and similar messaging infrastructure. Think of it as the missing control plane for async communications between software, AI, and devices.
Raterunner is pricing as code for SaaS. Define your billing plans in YAML, version them in Git, sync to Stripe or Paddle with a single CLI command. No more clicking through dashboards. Open-source core, works with any CI/CD pipeline.
Besides my work at Notable Investors, I also invest personally, writing checks of up to $150,000 into early-stage companies.
I play bass guitar, compose music, and practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have a wife, a son, a Shiba Inu, and an old hyperactive cat.
I was CTO at Octa, a fintech platform for SMBs in the Middle East — helped take it past $1M ARR. Before that, I founded Monite, an embedded fintech API platform. Took it from an idea to a funded company with 70+ people. Raised from top-tier investors, got covered in TechCrunch. Before Monite, I built Vokabee, an AI-powered language learning product for schools in Southeast Asia — grew it from zero to regional scale.
Selected coverage: Global Fintech Series, Verdict, The Next Web, LeadDev, TechCrunch, ITPro, The Fintech Times, Wamda, EU-Startups.
I wrote techleader.guide — a practical handbook for engineering managers and CTOs. No frameworks, no fluff. Just things that worked for me across multiple companies and markets.
I advise startups and investors on technology strategy, engineering team building, and technical due diligence. Just drop me a line.
